A river runs through it and other stories

Maclean, Norman, 1902-19902017
Books, Manuscripts
When Norman Maclean sent the manuscript of 'A River Runs through It to New York' publishers, he received a slew of rejections. One editor, so the story goes, replied, 'it has trees in it.' Forty years later, the title novella is recognized as one of the great American tales of the twentieth century, and Maclean as one of the most beloved writers of our time. The finely distilled product of a long life of often surprising rapture-for fly fishing, for the woods and their people, and for the interlocked beauty of life and art. It has over the decades established itself as a classic of the American West. This new edition introduces a fresh audience to Maclean's beautiful prose and understated emotional insights.
